500 Miles High You Are The Reason (6.35) Spring High (14.10) Wanderin' Rose (18.34) Wade In The Water/Hang On Sloopy/In Crowd/?/Baby What Do You Want Me To Do? (25.39) Sun Goddess (36.37) Skippin' (42.30)
My own personal research...a combination of Googling and cross-referencing with other CZcams videos...has determined that this concert took place in 1980 at Le Spectrum in Montreal, Canada...and. indeed, it was the Ramsey Lewis Quartet, not Trio. The other musicians were Henry Johnson on guitar, Gregory Williams on bass, and Frank Donaldson on drums. In any case, this was a truly awesome concert that wonderfully showcased the late keyboardist Mr. Lewis' truly incredible musical prowess.
Yes, thank you! Ramsey Lewis had that marvelous balance of head and heart, funk and soul. So unpretentious. So real.He was a huge influence and key in me deciding to be an entertainer at the piano for a living. His style made jazz approachable, doable and less ‘threatening’ than Tatum or Peterson!! Maestro Lewis and Dudley Moore knew how to groove and swing! Love 💕
It was way back in the summer of '77 I had the pleasure of seeing Ramsey Lewis and his band at The Ontario Place Auditorium, Toronto, Canada. Still the best 5 dollars I've ever spent......!
Thank you, RAMSEY LEWIS, for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. Your music was part background soundtrack to our once young life and continuing. It was a pleasure meeting you and giving incite on working with Charles Stepney and Maurice White. Quite the learning experience for myself. May GOD bless your legacy and surviving family.
You will be missed! Your message in the music " People Make the World go Around " will live in hearts for life times. See you on the other side Ramsey.
Mr. Ramsey Lewis is one of my influences in learning how to play the piano/ the keyboard...I saw him at the Hampton Coliseum, Hampton Jazz Fest. twice along with other well known music artists...we love you🌷 Rest In Peace🌷Mr. Lewis🌷

1975? Listen to that chorus effect on the bass on some parts. Probably has to be closer to 1980.
Love that the title is completely wrong….my they are a fine trio….oh wait 😂
Great post 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Sun Goddess 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Comencé escuchando esta banda por Tidal y terminé mirando por acá. Que buena música, muy grosos los músicos. 2021 presente con Ramsey, si!!
Consta de puro profesionalismo

You Are the Reason
Formidable trío de cuatro
Oh yeah- niceness indeed
Sun Goddess @ 36:36
Chicago Royalty at its best 🙏
So Sick
Ramsey Lewis Trio? I see and hear a quartet. 3 = trio; 4 = quartet. I may be old, but I can still count.
:-))) Good one!
Plus a guest musician : )0
Nice 🙂🎶🎧🎤
One of the greatest drumbeats of all time. Too bad it wasn't mic'd right. Can hardly hear it.
That guitarist is killing it. Name?
Byron Gregory
Henry Johnson!
1:13 that groove is nasty
Quarteto incrível 🎉👏, Sir Maurice White é o baterista?
From what I can see, it's a four-piece trio.
Or not?
BET didn't get started till about 1980 so I don't know how this is 1975 lol
I’ve been looking for this for years!
What’s the name of the song @14:10?
Spring High - Stevie Wonder
"Spring High" is on his 1977 album "Love Notes".
Ain't not "trio" anymore, though... it's a quartet
What’s the first song called?
"500 Miles High" by Chick Correa.
